Premier League leaders Arsenal are considering a summer move for Crystal Palace Michael Olise, according to widespread reports.

The Gunners' boss Mikel Arteta is reportedly interested in signing the 21-year-old as a backup option for Bukayo Saka.

With 2 goals and 8 assists for the Eagles this season, the Palace winger and forward is considered one of the top prospects in the Premier League.

Football Transfers reports that Mikel Arteta sees the English-born of Nigerian descent as an ideal transfer target considering his age, versatility, likely cost, and Premier League exposure.

Olise, who is an Arsenal fan has three years left on his contract at Selhurst Park.

Palace are said to be considering a fee around the region of £40m should Arsenal make an official bid for the player.

However, the fee is likely to reduce should Roy Hogson's side suffer relegation at the end of the season.
